From Coffee to Clearing: How Stablecoins Can Transform Institutional Payments - Invite Only

​45 minute interactive workshop led by Fireblocks, including Q&A

Stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a transformative force in cross-border payments, offering real-time settlement, reduced counterparty risk, and lower transaction costs compared to traditional rails. For banks, this evolution opens the door to new models for liquidity management, corporate treasury, and instant settlement between counterparties.

​In this session, Chris Friend, Principal Sales Engineer at Fireblocks, explores how Fireblocks enables banks and financial institutions to harness stablecoins across the entire value chain; illustrated through the journey of a coffee purchase from point-of-sale in Germany to the farmer in Colombia. Behind this relatable example lies a scalable institutional framework:

• ​Orchestrated cross-border settlement in minutes

• ​Automated treasury sweeps and multi-entity liquidity flows

• ​Configurable compliance and approval workflows for regulated environments

• ​End-to-end reconciliation and reporting within a single platform

​Chris will show how the same infrastructure powering a retail coffee transaction can be applied to high-value interbank settlements, corporate payouts, and FX liquidity transfers; delivering operational efficiency and compliance readiness at institutional scale.
